About Us

We established in the year 2012, with a concept known as “BY 2 COFFEE,” which referred to a cup of coffee that was meant to be shared between two individuals. In Bengaluru, mentioning “BY 2 COFFEE” often leads you to a nearby By 2 Coffee outlet. It is a trusted and loved brand known for its traditional Idli-Vada and Coffee pairing.

What significant impact By 2 Coffee made on Bengaluru? We take pride in revolutionizing the pricing norms in the hospitality industry. They set a new standard by offering a half-cup of coffee for only Rs 5, inspiring other darshinis to imitate their model or replicate their name and pricing.

A young entrepreneur named Raghavendra Padukone, originally from Kundapur in Udupi district started By 2 Coffee in November 2012. Who, was guided by his mentor named R. Prabhakar Rao, the visionary behind the darshini-style hotels in Bengaluru, Padukone embarked on a determined path. Padukone embraced Rao’s philosophy from his book, emphasizing hygiene, food quality, and affordable prices as guiding principles for excellent, pocket-friendly food.

By 2 Coffee has expanded its outlets across Bengaluru such as Basavangudi, Vijayanagar, Malleshwaram, Chamarajpet, Nagarbhavi. The success of the limited menu concept has inspired a new generation of entrepreneurs, who strive to innovate and maintain affordable prices. By2 Coffee has also entered the corporate realm, warmly received by Infoscions at the Infosys campus in Electronic City. Gratitude is expressed to Infosys management for the opportunity to introduce their unique format within the campus.
